“You dance with your legs.”

“I took it as it came and it happened to be very nice.”

“Fred Astaire represents the aristocracy, I represent the proletariat.”

“I wanted to create a dance that was part of the story, that wasn't just an interruption.”

“I think dancing is a man's game and if he does it well he does it better than a woman.”

“I tried to make the camera a mass of muscles, a living animal.”

“I never wanted to be a dancer. I wanted to be a shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates.”

“I got started dancing because I knew it was one way to meet girls.”

“I didn't want to be a dancer. I just did it to work my way through college.”

“There is a strange sort of reasoning in a child's mind.”

“For a dancer, there's a certain amount of masochism.”

“You're a dancer, and you're always a dancer.”
